Perched in a relatively remote location, the Hat Rock Inn offers a nice vantage along the San Juan…read moreRiver, with views of the bluffs from the lovely pool and patio areas. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough, but service overall is a bit lacking. The front desk is not open until after 2 p.m., and the staff members are not particularly well informed, given that this is a town with almost no general service or supply options (e.g., the hotel itself offers no dining or coffee, and the person at the desk pointed us to a pizza restaurant that has been closed for months). The housekeeping staff left something to be desired as well. Service is upon request, but that means tracking someone down and ensuring a one-for-one trade of dirty and clean. Understandable, but when I ask for one clean washcloth and am instead handed two or three by a given staff member, I don't expect to be chided by another staff member standing with us in the supply room. What it lacked in hospitality and service, it did make up for in scenery.

It's Mexican Hat, after all! :) We rented a suite (#14) - no dishtowels or paper towels, dishes still in the dishwasher, vinegar and cleaning stuff out on the counter. Not a big deal, but you get the sense that someone forgot they were cleaning the unit. The food in the restaurant was good (we just had breakfast one morning), but the one staff person there seemed super unhappy to be there and service was slow. Maybe they were the only person working there. If you, like we do, enjoy having an adult beverage after a long drive and exploring: bring your own. Even though the website says they have a liquor license, they do not sell any alcohol. There's a 7-11 half a mile away that sells beer and "spiked" low-alc drinks.

Really liked all of the outdoor spaces. There are lots of tables and chairs set up overlooking the river, and several balconies as well. Mexican Hat is really small - there are just two restaurants and one is here at the hotel. We ate dinner here and the food was pretty good and reasonably priced. I would stay here again if we end up in the area at another time.

After driving three hours through barren desert, Goulding's Lodge was like an oasis! The setting is absolutely stunning. It was other worldly and familiar at the same time, because the old westerns were filmed here! The staff was friendly and peppy. The cabin was clean, relatively new, and complete with a kitchen. The restaurant was quaint and vintage. The best part was the bonfire that the staff built for us! Sitting around stargazing was so memorable with our kids. We were all sad that it was a quick stop, but said we would love to come back to stay longer! If you're used to four or five star places, maybe you won't be impressed. But in context for the area it was pretty great! Also has laundry, on site grocery and gas. We went home and watched John Wayne in Stagecoach, and vowed we would go back!

I recommend better pillows though, we had like a million pillows on the bed but they were all small and thin. I would say hit the chair with a green machine because it seems stained, as well as the lamp shade was stained too. We had a toy roll under the drawers and it def needs a good vacuuming as it has other items under there too that we're not from us. It would be nice to have a little night light in the room as it's pitch black, we stayed with our toddler and had to keep a lamp on at night to see anything. Continental breakfast is decent, I'd like to have seen Apple juice since OJ is super sugary for kids. The WiFi is awesome! The TV channels are super basic so I'd recommend maybe install streaming Apps for guests. The staff is super nice and they all seem to like being there. Would def stay here again when visiting family again.

With that being said, accommodations are priced accordingly. Location has restaurants and fast food nearby. Kayenta Flea Market is nearby if traveling through on a Wednesday. When you check into the Hotel they advise you to not keep valuables in your vehicle or on the top of the vehicle due to theft. That becomes an "oh shit moment" but a prudent warning nonetheless. They have 24/7 security guards but I did not see security cameras outside. Had a room with King-sized bed and all the usual amenities. I was there for 2 nights and pleasantly surprised the room was cleaned after the first day. The lobby has lots of comfortable seating near a large fireplace. Enjoyed the breakfast as I usually prefer to go elsewhere. Nice patio and I did not try the restaurant that serves dinner only. Service was excellent. Nice gift shop for tourists. Have stayed at other Hotels in the area and this one is the best. Book your stay well in advance and enjoy the scenery and culture of the area!

The only reason we are given this four stars instead of five is because the restaurant inside the hotel proportion of the property is really bad. There is absolutely almost nothing around this place, so very important that you bring your own food for when you do stay here as you will be very unhappy with the restaurant on site. Other than that, we do strongly recommend this place.

Absolutely in love with our double queen balcony view room!…read more After seeing The View Hotel pop up on my Instagram reels a few months ago, I knew this is exactly where we needed to book during our motorcycle trip. I booked by calling the property directly. You will pay a $10/ vehicle charge to enter Tribal Land at the toll booth a quarter mile from the hotel parking lot. Make sure you keep this receipt if you plan on leaving the parking lot AND the one you'll get from the hotel front desk while checking in! We knew there were no laundry facilities on site, so plan accordingly. I brought over some soap bars from the hotel we stayed at before arriving to The View & washed what I needed to in the bathroom sink. Let my items hang dry at the balcony chairs less than 2 hours- dry as can be. The water pressure in the shower/ bath tub is amazing and there are shampoo, conditioner, & shower gel dispensers available. The scent reminds me of what greets you in the main lobby. I truly wish these toiletry items were sold in the gift shop, because they smell that good! In our room, there's a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker & personal safe for your belongings. Don't forget to claim your bottles of water at The View Restaurant! And redeem your gift certificate to shop at the Trading Post. Which offers a huge selection of Native jewelry, shirts, hats, and other goods. Although it says Complimentary Continental Breakfast available, on your check in papers- there are additional breakfast options besides sliced bread, bagels, & muffins. Assorted dry cereals whole milk & 2% milk. Crispy potatoes, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pork sausage. Fruit cups, fresh apples, yogurt cups. A deli is available from 10am- 5pm, since The View Restaurant is closed for lunch. But, open for dinner (closes at 10 pm). Be mindful of the last seating time, I think is 9:30pm- since table service is provided. Staff has been friendly and helpful. There are no hot tubs & pools, for extra activities at the property. But, I think an exercise room is available. There are tour companies here at the hotel parking lot AND other tour outfits at the traffic circle - Navajo Welcome Center. We stopped at Basha's Dine' in Kayenta before checking into our hotel. That way we could have our snacks, bottled waters, and fresh fruit of choice before arriving.

Our room was HUGE and super comfortable! Clean, nicely decorated and very roomy. LOVED the option to get 3 queen sized beds, and loved the attached patio that provided gorgeous red rock views and immediate access to one of the fire pits. I enjoyed a dinner from the onsite restaurant on the patio and also enjoyed some relaxing time at the fire pit once it was lit. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am, and they start to turn off the fire pits just prior to that. Also loved the ability to stream on the television from my phone with Chromecast. We also purchased some snacks at the store. I'm already planning to visit here again, hopefully for a longer stay!

Cost us only $48/night when the other cheapest hotel within 200 miles was $129.99 and not much better, nicer hotels were in the $200-$300 range and they were really not that nice for the price. The bed was average, but the AC worked well, and what impressed me was the owner was willing to make an exception to the no pets policy and let our little Westie stay for just an additional $10/night. Oh another note if you are heading up to this area: the wi-fi (if it works) will be not much faster than dial up and your cellphone will only get signal if it is one of the older generation devices (iPhone 5S = not going to work, iPhone 5 will partially work, iPhone 4S will work but it will be spotty and data random) so be prepared to be unplugged for a while!

I needed a clean room with a hot shower and a clean bed and this is exactly what I got.

The YouTube reviewer said it had no AC, which I was prepared for but my room actually had an AC unit blowing nice cool air, so that was a delightful surprise! I was very comfortable in the room and had plenty of space for my duffel bag, cooler, and camera gear. There was even a table and two chairs for me to sit and fix myself a sandwich. Also the owner Juanita is very friendly and accommodating, even going as far as to offer to freeze my gallon jug of water so I could put it in my cooler the next morning to keep my food refrigerated. She even met me in the parking lot the next morning at 5:30am with my frozen water in hand. The owner is very knowledgeable about the area and had great tips on other sites to see in the area. The place was quiet and extremely affordable. It is very easy to find and conveniently located right off of U.S. Route 163 so that you can quickly be on your way to other destinations such as Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. There is a 7-11 right next door for drinks and snacks and gas.

Everything was tastefully decorated and welcoming. The layout of the room was excellent - plenty of space, and lots of light and greenery. We loved the fridge / microwave / sink in the main area, as we had brought most of our food for the weekend. There was plenty of room for all of our food and drinks. The shower was large and had three nozzles, plenty of hot water, and good water pressure. Towels were fluffy and clean. Again, every detail of this place was well thought out and comfortable. I think the floors might have even been heated, which felt great on our bare feet. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. And the breakfast - wow! With Covid we had a set time for our breakfast which was really nice. And the food was amazing! Homemade yogurt and granola, a warm egg dish, scone, fresh fruit, delicious coffee and teas...we were in heaven. The breakfast room was full of light and plants, and there was also the option to eat on the patio. An added bonus is that the tap water in Bluff is delicious! We brought several gallons of water with us, and didn't even need to use it. Usually we don't bother with ice machines at hotels, but the ice was delicious and we enjoyed having plentiful ice water during the trip. Again, this place is all that - and more! Loved every minute and are already planning a return trip.
